Your Daily Equation #28: Einstein, The Big Bang, and the Expansion of the Universe

Episode 28 #YourDailyEquation: Shortly after Einstein published his new theory of gravity, his general theory of relativity, researchers realized that it predicted that the universe should expanding--a prediction subsequently confirmed by astronomical observations. And if it is expanding today, then running the cosmic film back toward the beginning suggests a highly dense and energetic starting point--the big bang. Join Brian Greene for a visual explanation of the essential ideas as well as an introduction to the underlying math that yields these conclusions.

Monday - Friday at 3pm EDT, Brian will offer brief and breezy discussions of pivotal equations. Even if your math is a bit rusty, tune in for accessible and exciting stories of nature and numbers that will allow you to see the universe in a new way.
